Skylight repairs & leak fixes for Shrewsbury: the essentials
Our skylight repairs & leak fixes service in Shrewsbury covers leak tracing, resealing, actuator repairs and glass replacement. Every job starts with a survey of the opening, the roof covering and the room below, and a fixed written price.
Industrial and commercial units around Midlands towns often still have their original rooflight sheets, which are due for replacement. Think of skylight repairs & leak fixes for leaks, condensation, misted units and failed actuators.
We work across Shropshire, including Shrewsbury, and in neighbouring towns such as Wellington and Telford. Access, parking and how the glass reaches the roof are all checked at the survey.
What you can choose
- Glass unit replacement
- Actuator, motor and control repairs
- Upstand and membrane repairs
- Planned maintenance visits
- Condensation diagnosis
- Actuator and rain-sensor repairs
- Seal and flashing repairs
Things we check at survey
- Repairs are charged — the free survey applies to new installations
- Commercial roofs need access and fall protection
Planning, building control and Shrewsbury
Most rooflights on English houses do not need planning permission, provided they keep within 150 mm of the roof surface and below the ridge line. A rooflight on a side-facing slope must be obscure-glazed, and fixed shut unless the opening part is more than 1.7 m above the floor.
For English homes the energy rules ask for rooflights of 2.2 W/m²K or better and roof windows of 1.4 W/m²K (or WER Band B); most modern double glazed units meet both. The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, published in March 2026, apply from 24 March 2027 and keep the 2.2 W/m²K limit for rooflights.

Common questions
Is it condensation or a leak?
Condensation forms on the inside face on cold days and comes back in the same pattern. A leak appears when it rains and often tracks down the reveal.
Do you repair roof windows too?
Yes — flashings, seals, hinges and glass on pitched roof windows.
Do you charge for repair visits?
Yes, repairs are charged. We give the price before the visit.
Can you work alongside my builder in Shrewsbury?
Yes. On new extensions we fit once the opening and upstand are ready and coordinate dates with your builder.
Do I need to be at home for the survey in Shrewsbury?
Yes — someone needs to let us into the room below and, where possible, show us how the roof is reached.
